Nov. 29: Showing of "Hawks in the City" & "Entangled"

Colliding Civilizations—Humans vs. Wildlife:
Presented by Maggie Stogner, Aditi Desai, and Kai Fang

On Tuesday, November 29 at 7 pm in the Wechsler Theater

How do our ever-increasing urbanization, population growth, and cultural traditions impact the wildlife community around us? Join us in viewing two documentaries that explore this question. Hawks in the City, presented by Executive Producer Maggie Burnette Stogner, follows the exploits of two red-tailed hawks struggling to raise a family in the concrete environs of Philadelphia. Entangled, a documentary work-in-progress by MFA candidates Aditi Desai and Kai Fang, takes a look at different perspectives on an age old annual kite flying festival in India involving joy, suffering, and death. The producers will introduce the films and answer questions.
